Agita

Gladstone is pleased to present Agita, the gallery's first exhibition with artist Joseph Yaeger. Known for distinctive watercolor-on-gesso paintings that depict a series of interconnected and psychically charged subjects, Yaeger's work probes our propensity to read shared cultural imagery through the lens of private desire. As is typical of the artist's practice, Agita is accompanied by a new publication of the same title. Drafted as the structural precursor to the exhibition, this confessional and sometimes unreliable text emphasizes Yaeger's interest in falsehoods, misidentifications, and the gains and losses that populate the distance between encounter and recollection.
